    I used 0.22ohm resistors. I removed the existing factory resistors and soldered mine directly to the board. I have LUYED led bulbs all around, and the fix worked perfectly. Thank you!

    This also worked for me on my 2008 Tundra. HOWEVER don't make the same mistake I did at first, which was to buy the wrong resistors on Amazon. Even though I typed in "0.15 OHM resistor", it took me to 15 OHM resistors, which I bought without noticing. I soldered them in and no dice. Super frustrated. Then as I was troubleshooting I realized my error on the buy. I bought the correct 0.15 OHM resistors that the OP linked to, and those worked great! Thanks for the walkthrough!

    I put the Alla LED (from Amazon) amber LED flasher bulbs front and back on my 2010 Tundra, and this mod worked great with the .15 Ohm resistors. I thought it was easier to mechanically wrap the resistor wires around the cut posts, apply flux, then solder in place (technique used in soldering amp components).

    Great tutorial!!! I removed the two buss bars (factory resistors) completely and replaced them with 0.22 ohm 1watt resistor and it worked perfectly. I now get 89 flashes per minute instead of the hyper flash that was around 140 (illegal according to some states, 120 flashes is maximum). I wonder if it would slow it down a bit more if I either add another resistors in parallel dropping the resistance to 0.11 ohm or series and raise to 0.44 ohm?
    I was happy with the 89 flashes so I left it at that and installed all panels back. I prefer this method over stupid 50watt 6ohm resistors on each LED bulb and sometimes that doesn’t even work. The whole idea behind LEDs is to be efficient and use less wattage yet you strap a damn 6ohm short that draws 2.4amps/34watts just in case you wonder why those damn things get hotter than the old bulbs that are less than 20watts.

    Great video but unfortunately I didn't find it until after I'd installed the LEDs in my 2013 Tundra and caused the hyperflash. The 0.15ohm resistors didn't work in my case, well worked on the left signal but not the right and the hazards didn't work. I also had to file a little off the bulb housing to get it to fit so can't return them and get your recommended ones. I soldered the bars back in place and put the normal filament bulbs in so back to square one. You mentioned in one of your other replies about increasing the size of the resistor but what formula did you use? Many thanks.

    I did this, and it works great for turning signals, but when I went and got my truck washed, and the worker turned on the emergency lights on as my 07 tundra was going through automatic car wash. After sometimes, the emergency lights stuck in turning on position without blinking. I then have to turn the emergency off to used the turn signal normally again. Is that going to happen when using emergency lights?

    • @minter66
      @minter66  11 місяців тому

      I would almost think that having all 4 signals going at once generated too much heat or the resistance was too high for the modification. I am able to use my 4 ways for extended amounts of time (loading/unloading) so not sure what would cause this.

    • @dirk41nowitzki41fan
      @dirk41nowitzki41fan 8 місяців тому

      To my understanding, the hazard lights operate on a different circuit, so they should be unaffected, but I could be wrong. On the other hand, the resistance on the circuit may be slightly too high. Bear in mind, resistance changes with heat. Lower resistance makes blinking faster. Higher resistance makes blinking slower. If resistance is too high, your lights might not blink at all.

      Whatever you get is the Ohm resistance for each resistor. You may not find an exact value resistor so a little more resistance is not bad, too little causes hyper flash.
      Make sure to measure resistance with both parking lights illuminated and then with full turn signal illuminated. Take the larger value.

      Hyper flash is an indication that there is not enough resistance to slow down the LED bulbs. Since you’re only switching to LEDs on the front, you may have reduced the flasher unit too much, you need to increase the ohms resistance.

      Sure,
      The iBrightstars for some reason lit up more LEDs than I anticipated when in parking light mode. This reduced the resistance they created when activating the flasher mode and they hyper flashed. I didn’t notice this until I was driving at night.
      During the day, they flash normally since they weren’t being partially lit with the head lights on
